Calendar won't save alert times

So I'm running el Capitan (10.11.6) and whenever I go to edit an existing event and add a new alert to it asks if I want to do it to that one or all of them. I choose all of them (it's reoccurring every week) and I close the dialogue box. After checking the event the alert is gone. This doesn't happen if I add alerts to a new event, only to existing events and when I choose to change all future events. Any solutions?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

I had a similar problem. The Calendar app would not save my alerts after I set them for a particular event. I would close the event, and then when I reopened the event, my previously saved alerts were gone. I closed/quit and then reopened/restarted the Calendar app. This solved the problem. When I re-entered the alerts I wanted, they remained after closing the event.
